CARE AND CLEANING
EN
DOS DON’TS
Read these cleaning instructions and the
‘Safety and warnings’ section before you
start cleaning your cooktop.
Before cleaning or removing any part,
make sure that everything on the cooktop
has been turned off.
Unless suggested otherwise in the chart
following, allow any part to cool to a safe
temperature before cleaning. If you do
need to handle a warm or hot part (e.g.
grill or griddle), take extreme care. Wear
long protective mitts to avoid burns from
steam or hot surfaces.
Try using any cleaner on a small area first,
to ensure it doesn’t stain.
See the page following this chart for
instructions on replacing the burner parts.
To help you identify any parts, see
illustrations in section ‘Introduction’ and
after this cleaning chart.
Do not use aerosol cleaners until
the cooktop has completely cooled.
The propellant substance in these
cleaners could catch fire in the
presence of heat.
Do not let soiling or grease
accumulate anywhere on the
cooktop. This will make future
cleaning more difficult and may
present a fire hazard.
Do not use any abrasive or harsh
cleaners, cloths, scouring pads or
steel wool. These will scratch your
cooktop and damage its appearance.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
any part of the cooktop.
Do not perform any cleaning
or maintenance on parts not
specifically named in the chart
below. If in doubt, contact Customer
Care.
Do not lift the black grill and griddle
frames off the cooktop.

After every use
1 Soften any stubborn stains
under a hot soapy cloth.
2 Clean with a solution of
mild detergent and hot
water, then wipe dry with a
microfiber cloth.
3 For extra shine, use a
suitable stainless steel
cleaner and polish, following
manufacturer’s instructions.
Always rub the stainless steel
in the direction of the polish
lines.
Always read the label to
make sure your stainless
steel cleaner does not
contain chlorine compounds
as these are corrosive and
may damage the appearance
of your cooktop.
Do not use and take care not
to spill any stainless steel
cleaner on the knobs. These
are not stainless steel parts
and their surface may be
damaged by stainless steel
cleaner.
